News From the Field: March 2018

News from the field March 2018This month’s News From The Field features a new publication on the rights of transition-age youth.

We’re also excited for local early spring conferences like the Texas Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy’s 7th Annual Symposium and the first-ever Symposium on Organizational Excellence (we are presenting!). Many local professional development opportunities are available to help you build your understanding around policies like The Family First Act, resiliency & trauma, healthcare and health disparities.

We will be providing you with some of the latest news, resources, and local & national professional development opportunities.
